Apr-Util-1.6.3

Introduction to Apr Util

The Apache Portable Runtime Utility Library provides a predictable and consistent interface to underlying client library interfaces. This application programming interface assures predictable if not identical behavior regardless of which libraries are available on a given platform.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.2 platform.
